Lord Harland.

The reason why the orcs dared to divide their troops into three groups and attack the swamp basin was because of their aerial reconnaissance intelligence.

In this area of ​​Grant Kingdom, every orc invasion battle relies heavily on the power of harpies. Because of their aerial reconnaissance advantage, the orcs can always easily take the initiative on the battlefield. Therefore, when launching a war, the Orcs relied heavily on aerial reconnaissance intelligence, and every battle relied entirely on aerial reconnaissance to guide operations.

Unfortunately, the orcs never expected that two mage towers were built in the swamp basin. Under the sudden attack of the two mage towers, the orcs suffered heavy casualties and were almost in danger of being annihilated.

The officer commanding the three orc brigades is named Raquel, an eighth-level lion man. Facing such a dangerous situation, Raquel was at a loss.

The place he chose to camp was the highest point in the swamp basin, less than a kilometer away from the Tower of Lightning.

Although the location of this camp is good, it is just within the strike range of the Lightning Tower.The reason why Soros allowed the orcs to camp here, instead of sending troops to harass and stop them, was to set traps for the orcs.

Sure enough, Raquel was immediately fooled, and his unit was attacked by the Tower of Lightning, killing and injuring hundreds of soldiers, and then was attacked by the cavalry inside the Tower of Lightning, causing heavy losses again.Suffered two blows, the loss has already exceeded a thousand.

The situation in Raquel's department is not the worst. He divided his troops to attack the orc brigade at the Tower of Fire. Now almost all of the army has been destroyed.

The orc brigade rushed forward greedily, fell into the trap, and was maimed by the fire storm.Coupled with the blow of the castle trebuchet, it has almost collapsed by now.

Standing in the center of the camp, Raquel asked the Kobold officer who had climbed up to the lookout post: "How is the situation of the Gula Brigade?"

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, the flag of the Gula Brigade has been cut off by humans. Now it has lost its structure and has no ability to resist the massacre by humans."

"Can you see Captain Gula?"

Raquel's camp was not far from the Flame Tower, and it was on a high ground, so the situation on the battlefield could be clearly seen.

Raquel knew in her heart that in a situation of overwhelming defeat, it would be difficult to rely on a few senior officers to turn the tide. The only thing he hopes now is that Captain Gula can save his life and gather the defeated soldiers.

As long as the Gula brigade is not completely wiped out, some human soldiers will be restrained, and they can cover themselves to evacuate from this dangerous place.

Raquel is already a middle-level orc high-level person, so of course she knows the recharging time of the mage tower. A normal mage tower only takes one day to recharge, and a mage tower with low charging efficiency can be fully charged in a week.

What's more, the mage tower can also use the energy of magic crystals to release magic. If the defenders have enough magic crystals, they can continuously release chain lightning.

If the enemy continues to be attacked by magic, the troops under Raquel's command will also collapse.

After Raquel forced back Soros's troops, he immediately organized the soldiers to retreat.In order to pack lightly, he even strictly ordered the soldiers to abandon hundreds of wounded.Abandoning the wounded is an act that seriously affects morale, but in order to preserve this army, Raquel can only do this.

The area of ​​the swamp basin was not very large, and it was surrounded by gently undulating mountains. As long as they retreated to the mountains, they would not be afraid of being chased by monster cavalry.

As soon as Raquel was transferred, he was immediately discovered by Soros who was waiting for work.

Soros chased with his cavalry, but Raquel couldn't retreat at all. In desperation, he could only lead his army to stop and fight Soros.

Thoros only had 600 cavalry under his command, and although Raquel suffered heavy losses and the morale of his troops was low, the number of soldiers was only 3,000.

If Raquel inspires the courage of the orcs, it is likely to fight a beautiful counterattack.

Without complete assurance, Soros certainly would not attack a fortress when his troops are insufficient.

In the swamp basin, the soldiers of Harland's territory took the initiative on the battlefield. After the soldiers of the Tower of Fire surrounded and annihilated the remaining soldiers of the orc brigade and joined Thoros's troops, they would look for opportunities to fight the orcs decisively.

With the cavalry watching from behind, Raquel's men couldn't move fast at all. After procrastinating for more than three hours, they only walked two kilometers, and they were still halfway to the mountainous area.

Within these three hours, Sophia and the Flame Tower defenders had cleared out the remaining enemies and wiped out the defeated orc brigade.

All the main officers of the Gu La Brigade were killed in the battle, and the three to four hundred orcs who managed to escape from the battlefield had already dispersed in the wilderness.

The arrival of this new force made the situation of the orcs even worse.

The squadron leader of the guard squadron, Charlemagne, commanded infantry, a very resolute assault orc formation.

Behind the main force, followed by auxiliary soldiers.

The auxiliary soldiers in the Harland Territory need to train for two months every year. Although they are not professional off-duty soldiers, they have some combat effectiveness. Although these auxiliary soldiers have less steel armor, they are fully equipped with weapons and equipment.

Although the salary of the auxiliary soldiers in the Harland Territory is very low, their actual combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the serf soldiers. With professional officers, their combat effectiveness can be as good as that of the inland city defense army.

The auxiliary soldiers often undertake the task of defending the city, and they also have rich battlefield experience. They practiced well in formation. Although they were very nervous, they were afraid of the harsh military law, and they still followed the soldiers of the guard squadron to participate in surprise battles.

Normally, a guard squadron of 500 soldiers, plus 600 auxiliary soldiers, would not be able to fight in the field with a large group of orcs, nor would they dare to attack the orcs' line.

But on the one hand, there is a brigade of monster cavalry to restrain them, and on the other hand, the morale of the orc army is low.Charlemagne grasped this point decisively, and launched a surprise attack without hesitation.

The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, Charlemagne suddenly lowered his raised right hand, and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

The soldiers of the guard squadron heard the command and untied their bowstrings neatly.

There are two guard squadrons in the Harland territory, which are used to perform guard tasks.Because of their special nature, the soldiers of the guard squadron naturally have to be carefully selected.The members of this army are all veterans, and they have to go through strict political review to prevent spies from getting in.

The two guard squadrons were under the command of Charlemagne, and they were very well equipped. The soldiers were all dressed in steel armor and equipped with bows and arrows with excellent range.The officers at the grassroots level are all wearing enchanted armor, equipped with enchanted crossbows and enchanted long swords.Even if the combat effectiveness is not as good as the st Squadron.The second squadron, the first-rate infantry in Harland's territory, was also stronger than the general field army.

The arrows were like locusts, covering the array of orcs in an instant. Rows of orcs fell continuously, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

At the same time, the orc soldiers also used slings to throw stones. The stones hit the iron armor fiercely, making a clanging sound. A few soldiers were unlucky and were hit on the cheeks by stones. Suddenly, they looked like watermelons that had been burst, with red and white water flowing down their cheeks.

Charlemagne swung the enchanted long sword to block the stones hitting him. He estimated the distance and immediately issued an order.

"Grenadier, throw alchemy bombs!"

Charlemagne's voice was very loud, like thunder.

In the Dawn Plane, a loud voice is a prerequisite for becoming an officer.

Only when the voice is very loud and on a noisy battlefield can the password be heard by the soldiers under his command.

"Boom!"

Loud noises were heard, and the orc army formation was filled with white smoke.

Morale was already very low, but the casualties suddenly increased, and an orc squadron collapsed.

Seeing that the orcs were so weak, Thoros decisively invested his troops and led the Warcraft Cavalry to cooperate with Charlemagne to attack the orcs' weak points.

Almost all the mage regiments in Harland's territory were in Charlemagne's army formation, cooperating with the infantry in combat.

More than a dozen greasy spells were released, and the orc army in front immediately slipped and fell. The guard squadron immediately fired a round of feather arrows, easily defeating the orc squadron and breaking into the orc army formation.

Seeing magicians cooperate with infantry, the threat is so great.Raquel took his own soldiers and launched a counter-raid, hoping to kill and injure the members of the mage group.

Raquel was immediately noticed by Wendy as soon as she moved. She waved her thunder staff and aimed a bolt of lightning at Raquel.

Wendy stretched out her finger, and a flash of lightning suddenly hit Raquel.

Raquel hastily arranged a vindictive shield, wrapping himself in the vindictive shield from head to toe.

The lightning hit the Dou Qi shield hard, and instantly shattered the Dou Qi shield.

The vindictive shield shattered, and Raquel felt severe pain in his body instantly, and the current in his muscles ran wildly.

Before Raquel could breathe a sigh of relief, Sophia released the wall of fire technique, and a wall of fire suddenly hit Raquel.

Raquel's flesh was roasted by the blazing flames and stung. He waved the sword vigorously, with powerful fighting energy in his hand. This energy split the fire wall in two.

A wall of fire passed through Raquel, setting his clothes on fire.Raquel instantly turned into a burning man, and let out a mournful cry.

Raquel endured the severe pain in her body and rushed into the guard squadron's formation with a long sword in hand.

He swung his long sword and was about to slash at a magician.Two professional officers raised their heavy shields and stood in front of Raquel.

The long sword hit the shield hard, and the powerful force directly shattered the iron-clad shield. The hands of a second-level professional officer holding the shield were also broken by this powerful force.

Just as Raquel was about to take action, Wendy held the thunder staff and fired a second bolt of lightning.

The lightning staff is a magical equipment of the legendary level. Wendy holds the lightning staff, and its attack power is stronger than that of a magician with seven rings.

The attack speed of the lightning spell is so fast that it is almost impossible for people to dodge, and they can only rely on the vindictive shield to block it.

Raquel's vindictive shield was shattered just now, and he was unable to condense the vindictive shield in a short period of time. In an instant, he was scorched black by the lightning, and his whole body was numb.

Sophia reacted quickly, and hastily released a powerful magic activation rope, which transformed into a magic rope to bind Raquel.

The body was bound, and Raquel let out a long cry, and his body exerted force suddenly, breaking the magic rope.

Raquel had just broken the magic rope when Charlemagne came up and slashed Raquel's head with the long sword in his hand. In panic, Raquel could only raise her left hand to stop him.

The long sword swung across and instantly cut off Raquel's left hand.

Raquel suddenly raised her leg and kicked Charlemagne hard. In an instant, she broke Charlemagne's ribs and kicked him more than ten meters away.

Seeing that Charlemagne was seriously injured, Sophia hastily released a four-ring magic spell to treat serious injuries, pulling Charlemagne's vitality back to half.

Raquel severely injured Charlemagne with one kick, and just about to continue killing, Heath and Butler released spells one after another.

Heath released the immobilization technique, and Butler released the blindness technique.

Although Raquel is already at the eighth level and has high magic resistance, these two spells still give him a serious negative state, making his movements and reactions very slow.

At the same time, Wendy raised the lightning staff for the third time and released the third bolt of lightning.

This flash of lightning was like the last straw, and it knocked down Raquel in an instant. The soldiers rushed forward and immediately tied up the eighth-level lion man with iron chains.

After fighting the orcs for many years, the Kingdom of Grant had never captured such a high-ranking orc officer.

Sophia was worried that the man would die from his injuries on the way, so she released healing magic on Raquel to help her stop the bleeding.

Raquel personally raided the formation of the guard squadron, but was besieged by the professionals in Harland's territory, and instead became a prisoner.The commanders were all taken prisoner, and the morale of the orc army fell to the extreme, and it quickly collapsed.

The situation in the swamp basin could not be concealed from the orcs who had the advantage of reconnaissance. When the orc army was ambushed by the mage tower, Pratt sensed that the situation was not good and immediately mobilized troops to prepare for support.

As soon as the orcs moved, Richard immediately led the main force of the military station out of the city to fight.

The main force of Harland's territory was stationed in the Garrison Fort. There were four infantry brigades and one scout cavalry brigade. There were elite soldiers.

With elite soldiers in check, the marching speed of Pratt's troops was naturally very slow.

After he arrived at the swamp basin, Pratt found that Raquel had been captured by humans and the remaining orcs had dispersed. The human army has cleared the battlefield, and most of the soldiers have returned to the castle.

Now the situation facing Platt's troops is very bad. There are nearly enemies in the swamp basin in the north, and elite soldiers from the Harland Territory in the south.

Three large groups of soldiers were lost. Although the orc army had a main force of 14,000 people and an auxiliary force of 8,000 satyrs, the situation became more dangerous.

After analyzing the situation, Platt felt that there could be no further delay.

Now there are reinforcements on both the east and west sides of Harland Territory. To the east is the fifth and sixth brigades of Harland Territory, with two thousand elite soldiers. To the west is the coalition of nobles from Heihe County, with a total of two thousand soldiers. When the human soldiers complete their assembly, their troops will be completely surrounded by humans.

At the critical moment, Platt was very decisive. He immediately sent an order for the orcs under his command to attack the enemies on the southern front, hoping to break through the obstruction from the front.

After the orc turned around, Li Cha immediately ordered the soldiers to fight in formation.

Compared with the orc army, although the number of soldiers in the military base commanded by Richard was smaller, they were like a rock and determined not to take a step back. He took the lead and successfully mobilized before the war.

The two armies slowly approached, and the long-range orcs suffered heavy casualties. Pratt suffered more than a thousand casualties before leading his soldiers to approach the array of soldiers in Haaland's territory.
